IMHO, GM cars are nice when you first get them but they're built so cheaply that they fall apart. I'm not talking regular maintenence and wear and tear. I'm talking about climate control knobs that break and fall off, windows that don't go up and down anymore, side body molding falling off, that kind of thing.

I do not know anything about cars other than having driven a lot of them. Maybe technology has improved things like suspension and steering, but to me, the changes that have been made over the last 30 years or so are primarily cosmetic or luxuries.

Koss on the other hand has some solid products and most of us are glad they're still making them. Look what happened when they tried to discontinue the KSC-35.

Gosh, I just ordered a spare set of KSC35's a week ago. Has anyone listened to these new 75's yet? I'd love to see a full review. I am tempted to buy a set myself, so I can add it to my Budget Cans Review.

 

[Jahn]

ah the drivers are different than the 35s? where did the old paper drivers go? ah well maybe they lost the mojo, maybe they didn't - but it's worth the 20 bucks to find out.

I think these are actually just modded KSC-50's that are more comfy.
I think Koss got alot of complaints saying the KSC-50 is falls off ears too easily and got the message, then decided to put out a KSC-50 that doesnt fall off!

NOTE: I haven't auditioned the KSC-75

I wonder if Koss is gonna make a "street-style" version of the KSC-75.

*Bump*

Has anyone bought these yet?

What Radio Shack did you find them at? The KSC-75's aren't on Rat Shack's website, and the sales people at a couple of the stores here look at me like they have no idea what I'm talking about.

While getting some foamies for my stock SP-90 earbuds (they sound surprisingly decent for stock earbuds, though my PortaPro blows them away) I saw them at our local Ratshack as well.

Nice. Do you happen to have some other headphones to compare it with?

 

[cannedheat]

I have the KSC-75s, received today. They are larger than the 35s, but are very comfortable. I have only listened briefly, and still need to compare to the KSC-35s, but the 75s compare favorably to the 35s soundwise.

I am planning to travel this weekend, so I will have little time for a full-review. I will try to post a quick comparion to the 35s tomorrow, but a full-review may have to wait until later. I am certain somone else will fill this void.

I do not like the additional bulk - but this may be an illusion caused by the silver phones, translucent ear thingy, and black pads. The all-black KSC-35s appear much slimmer.

There are several good design points that favor the 75s. First, they fit and hold very close to the ear. Secondly, they are more comfortable than the 35s. I believe they will be more durable than the 35s as well.

The only drawback, thus far, is the larger depth - probably due to the translucent cover on the ear wires (the part that holds the phones onto the ear).

I will listen carefully tomorrow morning and compare to the KSC-35s.

I Just sent in my KSC-35's under warrenty, hopefully they send 75's as a replacement.

 

[cannedheat]

I believe the 75s fit a bit better on my ears and are more comfortable than the 35s. The depth of the 75s is much larger. I estimate the 35s are roughly .75" tall when the ear clips are compressed. The 75s are roughly 1.25" tall and cannot be compressed - the ear clip pivots, but cannot travel close to the driver.

 

[Bolt San]

If you could, could you do a quick test and see how they feel when lying on them in bed?

 

[cannedheat]

My son fell asleep with the 75s on. When I lied down on the floor, without a pillow, the left phone fell off. When used with a pillow, the 75s are confortable - but they may slide off of the ear when sitting up.
